Four months ago, officials with the Wisconsin Lottery announced a winning $156.2 million Powerball lottery ticket was sold at Pewaukee Corner Pump, 1194 W. Capitol Drive. But until July 28, the win- ner of the ticket was unknown. Lottery officials announced Milwaukee resi- dent Mai Xiong was the win- ning ticket holder. She reportedly chose to take out a cash option worth $93.1 mil- lion. After going through the standard series of confirma- tions, Xiong reportedly held the winning ticket matching all six numbers: 2, 9, 27, 29 and 42. The willing Powerball number that night was 9. The reasons behind Xiong's redemption of the ticket four months after the declaration were not dis- closed. Lottery officials indi- cated Xiong and her family will not grant media inter- views or make public appear- ances. In a statement, the Wisconsin Lottery's commu- nications office indicated a trust was being set up for Xiong and her family. "(Xiong) hopes to lead a quiet life as she raises her family," the statement reads. "As such, she does not wish to do any media interviews and asks that everyone respect her privacy." The statement further reads, "She is very grateful to the state of Wisconsin and its lottery program for the opportunity this prize has afforded her family." Although more than four months have passed since the winning ticket surfaced in the March 22 drawing, the timeline between then and now is permissible under the Wisconsin Lottery's rules and regulations. "Once lottery numbers are drawn, winners have 180 days to claim their prize," Casey Langan, spokesman with the Wisconsin Lottery, said. As the winning retailer, Pewaukee Corner Pump got a relatively small cut of the prize as well. The gas station, owned by Ed McMahon and his family, received $100,000 for selling the winning ticket in the March drawing. According to Wisconsin Lottery rules, participating retailers selling winning tickets of more than $600 receive an incentive of 2 per- cent of the winning ticket. The incentive caps at $100,000. Since the program's incep- tion in April 1992, there have been 16 Powerball jackpot winners in Wisconsin. More than seven years had passed since a Wisconsin res- ident was named a Powerball jackpot winner. The last per- son to do so — Doug Miron of Marinette — held a winning ticket in late 2009. Xiong also holds the dis- tinction of winning the sec- ond largest prize in Wisconsin. According to state lottery officials, top honors go to a group of 100 people, aptly dubbed the Miracle 100. The collective winners split the $208.8 mil- lion cash award among them- selves. That winning ticket was purchased in Fond du Lac in August 2006. Milwaukee woman claims $156.2M Powerball jackpot won in Pewaukee Conley News Service file photo Pewaukee Corner Pump Manager Joseph McMahon and his father, store owner Ed McMahon, hold a sign March 23 advising customers that their store was where a $155.2 million winning Powerball ticket was sold for the previous day's drawing. On July 28, a Milwaukee woman claimed the prize that actually amounted to $156.2 million, and will take the cash option worth $93.1 million.
